  10. Introduction • Uncertain data are pervasive in real applications • Sensor networks • RFID networks • Location-based services • Data integration • While existing works often assume the independence among uncertain objects, • Uncertain objects exhibit correlations local correlations! VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  11. Data Model for Local Correlations • Data Model • Uncertain objects contain several locally correlated partitions (LCPs) • Uncertain objects within each LCP are correlated with each other • Uncertain objects from distinct LCPs are independent of each other VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  12. Data Model for Local Correlations (cont'd) • Bayesian network • Each vertex corresponds to a random variable • Each vertex is associated with a conditional probability table (CPT) VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  13. Data Model for Local Correlations (cont'd) • The joint probability of variables • Join tuples in CPTs and multiply conditional probabilities • Variable elimination VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  14. Definition of LC-PNN Query • Probabilistic Nearest Neighbor Query on Uncertain and Locally Correlated Data, LC-PNN VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  15. Challenges & Solutions • Challenges • Straightforward method of linear scan is costly • Computation cost of integration is expensive • Dealing with data correlations • Filtering Methods • Index pruning • Candidate filtering with pre-computations VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  16. Index Pruning • Basic idea • Let best_so_far be the smallest maximum distance from query point q to any uncertain objects seen so far • Then, any objects/nodes e having mindist(q, e) > best_so_far can be safely pruned best_so_far VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  17. Candidate Filtering with Pre-Computations • Basic idea • Obtain an upper bound, UB_PrLC-PNN(q, oi), of the LC-PNN probability • Object oi can be safely pruned, if UB_PrLC-PNN(q, oi) < a How to obtain the probability upper bound? Derived from formula of the LC-PNN probability upper bound via pivots! VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  18. Derivation of Probability Upper Bound pivotpivs5 l VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  19. Range [min_l, max_l] of l • l= • Let min_l = and max_l = • If online l is smaller than min_l, then JPo(s5) = 1 • If online l is greater than max_l , then JPo(s5) = 0 • Thus, we do not need to store pre-computations with l outside the range [min_l, max_l] VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  20. Candidate Positions of Pivots samples5 pivot pivs5

  21. Selection of Pivot Positions • We provide a cost model to formalize the filtering and refinement costs, and obtain a good value of parameter d to achieve low query cost VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  22. LC-PNN Query Procedure • Index uncertain objects containing LCPs in an R-tree based index • For an LC-PNN query • When traversing the index, apply index pruning method and candidate filtering to remove false alarms • Refine candidates and return true query answers VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  23. Experimental Evaluation • Data Sets • Real data: California road network • Synthetic data: lUeU, lUeG, lSeU, and lSeG • Generate center locations of LCPs with Uniform or Skew distribution • Produce extent lengths of LCPs with Uniform or Gaussian distribution • Within LCPs, randomly generate locally correlated uncertain objects with Bayesian networks • Competitor • Basic method [Cheng et al., SIGMOD 2003] • Assuming uncertain objects are independent • Measures • Wall clock time • Speed-up ratio VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  24. LC-PNN Performance vs. a Extent length of LCP = [1, 3], data size N = 150K, average No. of uncertain objects in an LCP = 5 VLDB 2011 @ Seattle

  25. Conclusions • We proposed the problem of queries over locally correlated uncertain data, in particular, the LC-PNN query, which is important in real applications • We designed the index pruning method, and based on a proposed cost model, we presented the candidate filtering method via offline pre-computations w.r.t. pivots • We provided efficient query processing techniques to answer LC-PNN queries on locally correlated uncertain data, and discussed applying the same framework to answer other types of queries.
